I am considering the Chevy volt batteries in my conversion.
The guy in Livermore who is selling them assures me that the water ducts are not for cooling but for heating the battery in cold climates.
$550 for 48v @ 45 amp hour plus $200 for the bms. I am thinking of getting 3 or 4 to start with. My system is the thunderstruck ac35 on a Westsail 32 (full keel 10 ton sailboat)
Any thoughts? Concerns? Advice?
Thank you

Has anyone tried a chevy volt battery pack in a boat.
They appear to be reasonably priced for the AH's.
It looks like they have 48 volt and 24Volt modules.
They are water cooled and maybe one could add a pump and run lake water through them for cooling.
if someone has used one please let us know how it works
Thanks
